Fiction
[edit]2005 IDW continuity
[edit]After the mass return of NAILs to Cybertron, part of New Iacon became a religious quarter. Drift, Riptide, and Pipes ventured there during the Festival of Lost Light to find the owners of a particular starship Drift had his eye on, though he was distracted by the trappings of the festival. The trio eventually tracked down the owners of the ship and purchased it. When they were subsequently musing on a name for their acquisition, Drift spied the sign welcoming newcomers to the festival, and was inspired to dub the ship the Lost Light. Twenty Plus One
